2.5亿年前，

250 millions years ago, 

大自然把丽水大地描绘得妖娆动人，

the great nature painted the enchanting Lishui land,

极地冰和岩浆火是她唯一的画笔。

and polar ice and magma fire were her only brushes.

今天，我们用花园和房子来描绘我们的山水世界，

Today, we paint with gardens and houses our Shan-shui world,

这是人类文明的一种诗意的即兴创作。

a poetic improvisation of human civilization.

天下全球世界体系

一个人类命运共同体框架下的和谐城市

A harmonious city under the framework of a community of human destiny

一个供所有层级生物生存的健康生态城市

A healthy ecological city for all levels of life

一个文化多元属性，去中心化城市

A city with multiple cultural attributes and decentralization

一个带来归属感、参与感、创作感的即兴城市 

An impromptu city with a sense of belonging, participation and creativity

Lishui city grows within the framework of the biggest Chinese philosophical concept of “Tianxia" (literally “Under heaven”), which describes the world as a whole unity of all living beings. Our design is our language to criticize current and propose new value system: from efficiency to harmony, from human-centric to all-living-beings world, from planning to improvisation.

城市的发展不受建筑物、道路或树木的限制，我们欢迎整个生态系统及其所有的水、灌木、草和昆虫。

人和自然一起参与其中！就像薄雾在天空中形成淡淡幕纱，微风在空心墙里吹奏音乐，萤火虫在黑暗中翩跹，人们在这里雕刻属于自己的空间。

当我们面对一个事物，往往会有一个主观的印像。即兴是对固化的表象进行突击的一种行为。即兴在我们眼里，指的是在某种情境，杂糅几何、物理，生物、心理……一种非常规性的思维和复合想象的载体。这也意味着如果我们想更好的即兴创作，我们就得更好的思考世界。

We have a subjective image of any object we face. Improvisation is a collective practice to re-imagine the solidified appearance of things. In our eyes, improvisation blends geometry, physics, biology and psychology in a city growth process – a carrier of unconventional thinking and compound imagination. If we want to improvise better, we have to think about the world better.
